Alarm System Installation in Wigan & the North West

Professionally installed intruder alarms for homes and businesses across Wigan, Newton-le-Willows, St Helens and beyond — with smart home integration and optional monitoring.

Intruder Alarm Systems Built Around Your Property

A professionally installed alarm system remains one of the most powerful deterrents against burglary. Research consistently shows that properties with visible alarm systems are far less likely to be targeted — and when an alarm does sound, it prompts rapid response. MPW Electrical Security install intruder alarms for homes and businesses across Wigan and the North West, with systems ranging from straightforward bells-only alarms to fully monitored, insurance-graded setups.

We work primarily with Texecom alarm panels — a market-leading UK brand trusted by security professionals nationwide. Texecom systems offer excellent reliability, flexible zone configuration, and full support for wireless components, meaning we can install a high-quality alarm with minimal disruption to your property's décor. Our alarm systems include PIR motion sensors to detect movement in rooms, door and window contacts to trigger the alarm the moment a point of entry is breached, and a bell box (external siren) to alert neighbours and deter intruders. For added peace of mind, we can specify systems to NSI/SSAIB grades that are accepted by home and business insurers as a condition of cover — something a standard DIY kit simply cannot provide.

Modern alarm systems can also be smart. With a Texecom Connect setup, you can arm and disarm your alarm remotely via a smartphone app, receive push notifications if the alarm is triggered, and integrate your alarm with CCTV cameras for a fully joined-up security system. Annual servicing contracts are also available to keep your system in good working order and maintain any insurance requirements.

Alarm Systems for Homes & Businesses

We install three main categories of alarm system — here's what each one involves and which type of property each is best suited to.

Residential Alarms

Home alarm systems from MPW are designed to be reliable, effective and unobtrusive. A typical residential installation includes a control panel, keypad, external bell box, a selection of PIR sensors for rooms and hallways, and door and window contacts on all vulnerable entry points. We can install fully wireless systems that leave walls intact, or wired systems for new builds and properties undergoing renovation. All panels are user-friendly, and we take the time to explain how to use your alarm fully before leaving. Smart-enabled options allow app control and instant alerts to your mobile.

Commercial Alarms

Business premises present different security challenges — larger floor areas, multiple access points, staff key-holding requirements and often a need for insurance-grade systems. Our commercial alarm installations use multi-zone panels allowing different areas of a building to be armed or isolated independently. Staff can be issued with individual key fobs or codes for auditing purposes, and zones can be programmed to match shift patterns and opening hours. For premises requiring a monitored system — where an alarm triggers a response from a professional alarm receiving centre — we can specify and install an appropriate graded system.

Smart Alarms

The Texecom Connect system transforms your alarm into a smart home security hub. Using the smartphone app, you can arm and disarm the alarm from anywhere — useful if a family member forgets, or you need to let a tradesperson in while you're away. Push notifications land on your phone the moment a sensor is triggered, and you can check the status of individual zones remotely. Smart alarms also integrate seamlessly with CCTV systems — pair them together and your cameras automatically begin recording the moment a sensor is activated. It's a genuinely intelligent approach to home and business security.

Alarm System Installation — Frequently Asked Questions

In many cases, yes. Many insurers offer reduced premiums for properties protected by a professionally installed, graded alarm system — particularly NSI or SSAIB approved systems. Some high-value home or commercial insurance policies make a certain standard of alarm a condition of cover. A DIY or consumer alarm kit won't meet these requirements, which is another reason to use a professional installer. We'll advise you on what grade or type of system your insurer may require during your free site visit.

A bells-only alarm sounds a loud external siren when triggered, relying on neighbours, passers-by or a key holder to respond. A monitored alarm connects to a 24/7 alarm receiving centre (ARC) — when triggered, the ARC attempts to contact you and, if necessary, dispatches a security officer or police. Monitored alarms cost more to run (typically a small monthly monitoring fee), but offer an active response rather than a passive deterrent. They're usually required by commercial insurers and are increasingly popular for residential properties where key holders may not always be nearby.

Yes — with a smart-enabled alarm system such as Texecom Connect, you can arm and disarm your alarm from anywhere using a smartphone app. You'll also receive instant notifications if any sensor is triggered, and you can check zone status at any time. This is particularly useful for managing access for family members, cleaners or maintenance workers, and for checking you've armed the alarm when you're already on your way to work.

Yes. We're happy to take on servicing, fault-finding and maintenance for alarm systems we didn't originally install. Whether your existing system has developed a fault, needs an upgrade, or you've moved into a property with an existing alarm and want it checked over, we can help. We service most major brands of alarm panel and can usually source replacement parts or recommend an upgrade path if your existing system is no longer supported.
